The Oud Limburgs Schuttersfeest (abbreviated as OLS, literally translated ''Old Limburgian Shooters' Festival'') is an annual shooting tournament during which shooting associations (Dutch: ''schutterijen''; Limburgian: ''sjötterie'') from across the region of Limburg, nowadays split in a Dutch and Belgian part, compete against each other.〔(Oud Limburgse Schutters Federatie (OLS) ) on Huis voor de Kunsten website〕 The winner organizes the event the following year and takes home "De Um", the highest prize for a shooter (''schutter''). Each ''schutterij'', or shooting association participates in the tournament with 6 members. Utilising an approximately 15 kg. carbine, with self-made bulllets of lead, participants are required to shoot square blocks (called ''bölkes'') from a stick. This is to be executed across 20 meter of distance. Ten "schutter" unions unite approximately 170 ''schutterij'' guilds, with a total of approximately 10,000 members in the Netherlands and Belgium.〔 ==References== * (website ) of the Oud Limburgse Schuttersfederatie * (List ) of Schutterijen 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oud Limburgs Schuttersfeest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
